Combine and Cook Ingredients

Start by giving your slow cooker a quick spray with some cooking spray to keep things from sticking. Pour in the almond milk, water, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, then whisk everything together until it’s well combined. Toss in the oats, dried cranberries, and butter, stirring gently to mix. Set the slow cooker to low and let it cook for about 3 and a half hours. After that, stir in the diced apples and pecans, then let it cook for another 2 hours on low. Once it’s done, give it a good stir and serve warm for a cozy breakfast.

Serving Suggestions

Top with a drizzle of maple syrup or a splash of milk for extra creaminess. Adding chopped nuts or a spoonful of yogurt can give a nice contrast in texture and flavor. Fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries also works well.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a bit of milk or water to loosen the texture. This oatmeal can also be frozen for up to a month.
